DJGPP vs Cygwin

I have been using Cygwin to check portability, and recently tried an experiment. I compiled and run the same, largely compute bound, program on both systems and timed their execution. Both were compiled with "gcc -W -Wall -O2 -ansi -pedantic -gstabs+", using gcc 3.1 on DJGPP, and gcc 3.2 on Cygwi

Initializing and cygwin.bat

As a new user I wanted to customize cygwin.bat to my system, which uses 4dos as the shell and only maintains command.com as an antique. W98 BTW. I found that various commands wouldn't work! The reason was that command.com was being called in the .pif file. I simply changed the .pif to specify "

vs and use of diff

I have some makefiles used with DJGPP which perform regression and portability tests on my software. They check things by doing a run and then executing "diff -q" between the captured run and a saved version. The tests are run by a .bat file, and want to also be runnable by a shell script. They

Does this stuff run on a 486?

I have just installed several things, including gdb, gcc, and have seen files flashing by with I-686 in their names. Do the distributions contain 686 specific code? -- Chuck F ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Available for consulting/temporary embedded and systems.

Setup and recovering from mistakes.

Last week I downloaded and used setup for the minimal cygwin system. I used the 'download from internet' and 'install from download' options rather blindly, because I could not see how to select packages. More on that later. This installation basically provided bash, info, ls, etc. and seems to
